A bit of background; Someone I know told me, sometimes they feel crazy 'cause there are just so incredibly many different narratives and stories in their mind, about all the relationships they’re in… they forget who they are themselves sometimes, don’t know what to trust and believe so they feel very overwhelmed. Like, they want to trust, but who/what to trust in?

Which storyline should they align themself with, again?

Or, how can I help them? Maybe not engage in their irrational overthinking, but rather lead them help ground themself by taking care of their physical needs first? Sleep, water, food, exercise, etc

Serious answers please. Thankyou!

Edit: also, when those needs are met, what topics should they nurture their mind with to grow their mental health?

    Sometimes when I have nothing to do I just destroy my own life. I get bored and burn bridges for almost no reason. I don’t know why but when I’m working towards something or focusing on achieving a goal I don’t do or even think about doing this.

    I don’t know if this is at all relevant to your question but it’s something.

      I occasionally do this too. For me it’s when my internal voice starts turning to the “dark side” and ruminating on stupid shit, I start feeling overwhelmed etc etc.
